DIRT DEVIL!😳................................................NORTHWEST ADVENTURES! 😀

Dirt Devil!😳
“Look at that Liz, I haven’t seen one of those since Colorado!”😊
In the winter we get the same phenomena,
“Snow Devils”!☺️
The first time I saw one of these mini dirt tornadoes, was just after we moved into our house that sat at 7,980 ft above sea level, in the High Country of Colorado!
This home sat above the valley below, and you could see for miles!
Silvertop really misses that timber framed home!😇
I saw what looked like a swirling cloud of dirt and dust, coming up from the valley below!😮
I watched this “dirt” spin, and continue up-valley towards our open patio door……
Minutes passed………
Silvertop and Liz were intrigued……
It came up the driveway, and dumped dirt into our car, that had its windows cranked down!
Yes, car windows used to be cranked down by hand Lol!😇
Then it hit our patio door screen, blowing the screen off its track, and filling our living room with a cloud of dust and dirt!😳
“What was that Liz!”😲
Hmmm………….
So “Dirt Devil’s” are in the Pacific Northwest as well Lol!😇
How quickly the fields have turned to dry dust……..
I asked the Mrs, and we think it has been two weeks since we have had any rain!
Everything irrigated is lush and green, what is not irrigated is bone dry!😮
That’s how we roll in the Northwest Lol!
Liz and Silvertop took a short hike today.
The Mrs is not comfortable on this gravel road at the moment…..
This road leads to our trailhead, it is also very close to where Silvertop spotted Mr Bear yesterday!😮
“Silvertop the mosquitoes are out as well, how about we hike to the crest of this hill, and call it for today!”🥰
We needed to set up our musical instruments and run through a practice at Church later today anyway………..
“ Sounds good Honey, maybe the Bear will move on!”😇
Everyone enjoy the weekend, till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊
